A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
After graduating from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with his bachelor’s degree in Communications, Timothy Charles Chizmar has written for various magazines, newspapers and websites including Fangoria, First Comics News, and many others. He has sold short stories to such collections as Chicken Soup for the Soul and has written various screenplays for Hollywood production companies. He’s also been one of Hollywood’s best kept secrets, having been a ghostwriter for some of today’s hottest authors and celebrities. You’ve read his words but just didn’t know it! Tim has been a proud member of various writers’ organizations including The California Writers Club, Writers Guild of America, and he even co-founded the Las Vegas Chapter of the prestigious Horror Writers Association. Tim’s collaboration with writing legend Clive Barker was featured in the Bram Stoker-award winning book ITS ALIVE: bringing your nightmares to life, published by Crystal Lake Press. Although Tim has a fondness for the stories that go bump in the night, it has not all been a career of terror as his lighter credits to date include ABC, FOX, Showtime, Comedy Central, Playboy, NBC, The Hallmark Channel, and many more. He has produced various television pilots including a comedy/action series for CMT starring wrestling superstar Rob Van Dam that had showrunner Eric Bischoff attached. He’s produced such features as the Eric Roberts’ lead film Unchained and The Year of Laughing Dangerously starring Patrick Kilpatrick and Mindy Robinson. As a headlining comedian Tim was a favorite at The World Hollywood IMPROV, The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, and has toured all over the world playing sold-out casinos, clubs and colleges. To date he has worked with such standup legends as Jeff Foxworthy, Gabriel Iglesias, Jon Lovitz, Daniel Tosh, Brad Williams, and many others. When he’s not inspiring fellow writers by being on panels at San Diego Comic-Con, WonderCon, Las Vegas Book Fest, Idaho Writers Guild, or speaking at Hollywood Success events, he's constantly working on his next project. Because for Tim Chizmar, there’s always a next project!

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
